Answer to Question #147496 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Alfraid

Question

What is efficiency of carnot engine.

Answer 1

The Efficiency of a carnot engine is the theoretical maximum efficiency one can get when the heat engine is operating between the temperature at which the high temperature reservoir operates and the temperature at which the low temperature reservoir operates.

$η_{carnot}( \%)=1−\frac{T _{Cold}}{T_{Hot}}×100$
